Ch. 3: Drago's Bad News

Colleen met up with the others at the portal in the Town Square. As they walked in, Colleen followed with Shendu in tow.

"Where've you been, Girl?" Ice asked.

"Just making sure we haven't been followed by the Goblins," Colleen replied.

The teens went through the portal to Avalon, not knowing that Froggo and the Goblins are popping out of a nearby bush.

"Now's our chance!" Froggo yelled, "Move!"

The four went through the portal as it stayed opened.

The teens came through and to the rookery only to see Tchang Zu next to Shendu's egg.

"What are you doing here, Storm Jerk?" Colleen gruffly asked.

"Can't a guy be here when his brother is about to be awaken?" Tchang Zu asked to reply.

"We didn't think you cared about him," Cody said.

"I didn't think you cared period," Hsi Wu sarcastically said.

While the teens went over to Shendu's egg, Tchang Zu walked over to the portal and took out a yellow orb to keep the portal open for a few more seconds. The goblins got out of it quickly as Tchang Zu pointed out.

"Get out of sight until I tell you otherwise," he whispered to them.

The goblins walk out quietly.

Drago was about to channel his dad's chi into the egg when Daolon Wong appeared in a puff of smoke. He used his staff to absorb the excess fire chi from Drago.

"I'll channel your father's chi for you, Drago," he said, "Isn't there something you and your uncle should discuss with your friends?"

"Right," Drago said downtrodden.

"What discussion?" Colleen asked.

"We want to talk to you in the next cavern," Hsi Wu sighed.

The teens walk with Drago and Hsi Wu to the cavern to the left while Daolon Wong finishes the revival spell for him.

"Well. It's just the six of us, Drago," Cody said.

"So what's on your mind, Demon Dudes?" Ice asked, "You've been quiet lately."

"Well, Guys…Truth is… Hsi Wu and I are not gonna go back to San Francisco with you," Drago sighed.

All four of the teens showed shocked looks on their faces.

"What?!" Colleen yelled.

"No!" Ice shouted.

"Can't be!" Cody yelled.

"Why?!" Chrissie hollered.

"My father and the rest of the family invited us to live on Avalon with them," Hsi Wu explained, "Drago and I can't refuse because we've just reunited with our family."

"Unc's right. Besides, Grandpa wants to get to know me more," Drago said.

"So after your dad is back on his feet, it's good-bye?" Cody asked.

"Cody, it's their decision," Colleen defended, "Drago needs to stay here with his family. That was the whole point of the mission."

Then, Xiao Fung and Tso Lan came in with something.

"Speaking of family, Children," Tso Lan said, "One of you was followed through the portal from San Fran."

He takes out a familiar black cat with the Monkey Talisman.

"Whose little talisman-holding cutie is this?" Xiao Fung chuckled.

"Holly! Come here, Kitty," Colleen happily commanded.

Holly transforms into her human form.

"Sorry to sneak in like this, Colleen," Holly said, "When I heard Drago is going to see his dad again, I thought I should give the Monkey Talisman back to him. Jackie and Jade are coming in with the rest of the talismans right now."

Holly noticed that the J-Teens are looking pretty down.

"What's up with you guys?"
